Social failure, etc.
Since I'm reorganising and all, I thought I might as well write up a friending-policy-type post even if it'll never be of any use.
So.
You can friend me if you like; apparently some people have a problem with this, which I will no doubt understand after patiently listening for a day or two. Just drop me a comment or something? I'm as bad with names online as I am IRL.
I will friend you for obscure reasons not yet clear to myself. Unless I know you in real life, in which case, I won't. Because I would like to keep a safe space to rant, set apart from my day-to-day interactions, and that would kind of defeat the purpose.
There is no extrinsic value in having me friend you, unless you are particularly fascinated by humourlessly incoherent rants and/or contextless declarations. You don't see any fannish works here because I haven't made any and probably couldn't do so to save my life -- although I can certainly direct you toward people who are very good at these creative endeavours.
If I don't reply to a comment in a conversation thread, it's probably because I think that there is nothing much to be added, and my reply would just be a spacewaster, not because I am ignoring you. (This for anyone else who goes all augh what did I do wrong when such situations arise. Have some love because you need it <3)
Semifinally, this post is written with British-English spelling (not vocabulary) because at the time of writing, which is not 31 December 2008, I have pledged to do so for a certain period of time. And finally, comments to this entry are screened, so you're welcome to rant at me or something if you want.
Addendum of exceeding import:
Defriend at will. I'm not a very interesting person.
